As opposed to just one-off team-ups, writer Ryan Parrott has crafted a series of crossover adventures that build atop one another and continue to add new layers to both franchises along the way. The latest series picks things up with the story already in play, as the Power Rangers and Turtles work as a team to combat the newly formed alliance of Lord Zedd and Shredder, which is proving to be a formidable combination.
It’s a joy watching these characters interact with each other and discover similar souls throughout their journey. Pairings like Donatello and Billy and Leonardo and Tommy make all the sense in the world, but it’s also fun to see less expected combinations like Tommy and Raphael take the spotlight. The same goes for Lord Zedd and Shredder, who make quite the villainous pair and yet also seem primed to turn on each other at any moment. It’s a betrayal you know is coming, but that doesn’t make it any less compelling.
Illustrator Vincenzo Federici, colorist Raul Angulo, and letterer Ed Dukeshire bring the best out of both teams, and while there is an intensity and stakes to this adventure, the team knows when to have some fun and make something absurd pop off the page to keep things balanced. Case in point, every single scene involving Warbunny, who, despite his bunny-themed looks, still manages to pose a threat.
